It wasn't a rocket into the top corner. It really wasn't much of a shot at all.

Tulpehocken junior Lydia Kahl said she simply was trying to make something happen, which turned out to be good enough on a night when not much happened offensively.

Kahl lofted a 30-yard shot that floated over the head of Brandywine Heights keeper Laura Kokolus and into the net with 38.9 seconds left in the second overtime to give the Trojans a 1-0 Berks Girls Soccer League III-IV win Thursday at Topton.

"I really was just trying to get a shot on goal," Kahl said. "I was just hoping that it would find a way in. It just happened to go my way.

"I was very surprised it went in. I thought it was over the net, for sure."

While the goal might have been a surprise, the fact that Tulpehocken (10-1 Berks IV, 12-4) clinched the Berks IV title with the win certainly doesn't qualify as stunning. The defending District 3-AA champion Trojans are the class of the division, complete with skill, depth and experience.

That they were able to clinch the crown in dramatic fashion against a quality Brandywine (9-1 Berks III, 13-2) club made the moment one to savor.

"It's huge to win the division," Tulpehocken coach Paul Zerbe said. "That's the first step. We always talk about winning the division and going from there. These seniors have been the core for us and this is something they wanted to do."

The game seemed destined to finish in a scoreless tie, and that would have been fitting. It was pretty even from start to finish, with neither team controlling play for extended stretches.

Brandywine's Jordan Cassidy got off a shot 13 seconds in; there were just three more the rest of the first half.

There were a few close calls in regulation. Brandywine's Codi Bixler sent a shot that was saved by Oliver Webber but trickled just wide midway through the second half.

Tulpehocken's Crystal Zerbe rolled a shot just wide from in tight with 1:10 left in the first overtime.

But if one was to bet on who finally would end the scoreless drought, Kahl would have been a solid choice. She is tied for the county lead with 13 league goals and 31 points. She has scored at least one goal in five straight league games.

Thursday, her seemingly innocent shot gave the Trojans another title.

"Lydia has been getting some timely goals for us," Zerbe said. "We have been moving her around a bit, but she has been positive about everything. She has been finishing, and that's a good thing."
